I’ve never done something simple like this before.

First install the package:

apt-get install pptpd

then edit the localip and remoteip in your /etc/pptpd.conf file.

and next add a user with password:

echo “USERNAME pptpd PASSWORD *” >> /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

and restart the pptpd server:

/etc/init.d/pptpd restart

done.

It tested it with the android (kernel: 2.6.29-TheOfficial-00479-g3c7df37) vpn client

PS: It’s funny that my kernel on the android phone is newer than the kernel on the debian server

hi!

I’m back – now it’s time to get some nice programs running on your android phone.

I found the python binary on the following website:  www.damonkohler.com

and here’s the binary: python2.4 binary

as you can read, there are still problems running lots of the libraries, but I think that I found a solution:

download the the standard python libraries here: python_lib
first mount the sdcard (home screen) and copy all the files to your /sdcard (also the python binary)

then umount the sdcard (home screen) and open a terminal to connect to your phone through adb (adb shell)

type in the following commands:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp -R /sdcard/python2.4 /system/bin/python
chmod 777 /system/bin/python
export PYTHONHOME=”/sdcard/lib/python2.4/”
export PYTHONPATH=”/sdcard/lib/python2.4/”
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
python

and you are done

##UPDATE:

If you want to permanently add the global vars just edit your init.rc and add the following vars under “# setup the global environment”

export PYTHONHOME=”/sdcard/lib/python2.4/”
export PYTHONPATH=”/sdcard/lib/python2.4/”

PS: don’t forget to remount the rootfs before editing the init.rc (mount -o remount,rw rootfs /)

I found a nice and also free application on the android market called “Lookup Incoming Call”

It currently supports a lookup for:

• Sweden (Hitta.se)
• whitepages.com (US)
• GoYellow.de (DE)

and it also supports a custom lookup!

so i decided to program a little script to lookup phone numbers in Austria.

After two days of coding (python) it’s finished.

just add this URL to your custom provider:

http://server.true-binary.com/_lookup/index.py/get_info?number=P

and you are done.

It will show you the name and the street of the caller.

for example:

Max Mustermann – Home Street 6a

if anything is missing, tell me.

cheerio, chaos

#1 UPDATE:

added support for two more countries:

• GERMANY
• SWITZERLAND

#2 UPDATE:

Because of DNS problems the server was unreachable for a few days.

It should work again on July, 28, 2009 18:00 (GMT+2)

hi guys!

yesterday i updated my phone to the HERO image.

nice design, but veeery slow!

and i had one BIG problem: the physical keyboard layout was QWERTY

so how to change it back to QWERTZ? Here’s the answer:

download the keyboard file and copy it to the /sdcard :

trout-keypad-v3.kcm.zip

and open the terminal emulator on the phone, or thru adb:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keychars/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

and you are done!

cheerio, chaos

hell yeah, I’m back from a little trip to italy

* it was hot

* it was nice

* too much to drink

but a great “holiday”

so wanted to make some nice pics, but I’ve forgotten my cam at home, so my g1 tryed to make it:

cheerio & stay tuned!
